Love me the way I love you

I woke up early at the hotel room, I was suppose to go to Calum's family house for a while, but I just wanted to go home. I got out of bed quietly and grabbed my laptop booking myself the next flight regardless of the travel time. I just wanted to be alone.

"What are you doing?" Calum asked with his eyes barely open.

I checkout my flight "I just want to go home..."

He sat up and nodded "Okay..." I nodded to him and took in a deep breath. "When is the next time I'll see you?"

"I don't know... we're going to have a small funeral thing if you and the boys want to come..." I got up and started packing my backpack and washed up in the bathroom.

Calum followed me in the bathroom leaning against the door frame. "We're okay, I don't want you to think I don't care about you. I do because you're the love of my life and I'd do anything for you in a snap" he mumbled.

I nodded and dried my face then walked over to him hugging him "I love you too..." I buried my face into his bare chest. "I just... I just need to get myself together."

What was suppose to be I need to get myself together turned into a complete shit show. After being home for a week and locking myself in my room crying, then going through the funeral binge drinking- it just went downhill. Now I'm in a holding cell for speeding and drunk driving.

"Hey! Where's the call I get?!" I yelled.

"You got your call already" the officer yelled at me in Italian.

I laid on the bench staring at the ceiling "Fuck, I feel like I'm floating." I heard the officer chuckle "You know, I have places to be. I'm an important person here!"

"Yup, Giovanna Gianniotti."

"I need to get out of here" I got up and stumbled to the bar door.

"You aren't until someone comes to get you."

"You'll hear from my lawyer" I pointed at him. Nonnio and Nonna walked in with an officer escort in them in. "Ohhh! There you go, I told you I'm getting out!"

Nonna walked over to the bar and placed her hand on top of mine "You need to clean up your act. This is the fourth time in two weeks."

I chuckled "I am, Look I got a new car. I made friends at the bar. I bought a five million dollar house! I'm rich!"

Nonnio walked over to Nonna "Let's go." They walked away leaving me there.

"Wait, you're forgetting about someone!"

Nonnio walked to the bar and reached in holding my head "No, you're staying here tonight because your Papa just died and I can't loose you. We need a break from your bullshit, if you're here we know you're okay and not just waiting for you to come home or to get a call that you wrecked your car."

They walked out and I watched them walk out "I don't need you! I don't need anyone because I have everything I need! I don't need anyone! Fuck you!" I yelled. Then I heard a door close and shakes the bar "Let me the fuck out!"

The officer just put earphones in doing his paperwork. I sat on the bench staring at the wall.

I woke up laid out on the bench and the bars being banged on causing a loud ring. I sat up and the officer opened it "Come on, you're released." He grabbed my arm leading me to some front desk where they made me sign papers and gave me my stuff back.
